Lyrics

There are lines on my hand in a canyon of sand
We were miracles once in a tremblin' dance
Just the light from a star that shimmers and burns
Only light years away from the lessons it learned
But there's a heart on a leaf, when it cracks in the cold
And it falls at your feet in the amber and gold
Like a drum playin' beats a thousand years old
And it bursts at the seams of the stories it told
But she holds you
'Cause she knows you
And Heaven cried the tears into clear water
Through ancient nights renew the dreams of men
And through the wild that hears into the yonder
The breath of time calls me to wander again
Oh, it calls me to wander again
Yeah, wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
It's in the love from the moon for the mornin' dew
When it clings to the grass just to remind you
That change is a gift, forever was a lie
With a kiss from the sun, it returns to the sky
It's in the whisper of the wind when it blows through your hair
And it waits for you there in the cold mountain air
There's no gold in those hymns, it'll bring you despair
Only holes to be filled and they'll always be there
Heavens cried the tears into clear water
Through ancient eyes, renew the dreams of men
And through the wild that hears into the yonder
The breath of time calls me to wander again
Oh, and it calls me to wander again
Yeah, wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
Ooh
We are bound by a place that'll bring you to your knees
And it breathes for the world through the tops of the trees
To a river in the sky, and it cries to the wise
And it shows you
She holds you
'Cause she knows you
Heaven cried the tears into clear water
Through ancient earth, renew the dreams of men
And through the wild that hears into the yonder
The breath of time calls me to wander again
Oh, and it calls me to wander
Wander again
Yeah, wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
Wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
